It's Coming For My Job

AI just casually generating a literal physical 3D holographic masterpiece of a seeded database for testing when you asked for a simple diagram. Meanwhile, you're still trying to figure out how to export your schema to PNG without it looking like garbage. The gap between what AI can produce and what we actually need is hilariously wide, yet somehow it still makes us question our job security. Like yeah, cool futuristic cityscape inside a glass cube, but can it fix the flaky integration tests that only fail on Fridays? The real kicker? Some PM is gonna see this and ask why your actual testing environment doesn't look this impressive.

Programmers Are No Longer Needed!

Every decade brings a new "revolutionary" way to make developers obsolete, yet here we are, still debugging at 3 AM. Visual Programming in the '90s promised drag-and-drop salvation, MDA in the 2000s swore models would auto-generate everything, No-Code platforms in the 2010s claimed anyone could build apps without writing a line. Now we've got "Vibe-Code" where you just describe what you want and AI does the heavy lifting. Spoiler alert: someone still needs to fix it when the AI hallucinates a database schema or generates a sorting algorithm that runs in O(n!). The pattern is clear—each generation thinks they've cracked the code to eliminate coding itself. Meanwhile, programmers keep getting paid to clean up the mess these "solutions" create. Job security through eternal optimism, baby.

This Code Is Sponsored By The Assembling Government

You know what's wild? Someone out there is looking at raw assembly with add , str , imd , and register manipulation and genuinely thinking "yeah, this is totally readable." Meanwhile the rest of us are squinting at it like it's ancient hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated robot. Assembly is what you write when you want job security through obscurity. Sure, it's "perfectly readable" if you've spent the last decade living in a cave with only CPU instruction manuals for company. For everyone else, it's just a beautiful reminder that high-level languages exist for a reason—so we don't have to manually juggle registers like we're performing circus acts. The delusion is real. Every assembly programmer thinks they're writing poetry while the rest of the team needs a PhD just to understand what jmp_eq user_input_end is doing at 3 AM during an incident.

Oh look, another tech prophet declaring our imminent obsolescence! The suggestion that we'll blindly trust AI-generated code like Claude without review is getting the Doge Bonk™ it deserves. Twenty years in this industry and I've survived every "this will replace programmers" prediction since Visual Basic. Sure, AI will change things, but the day we stop checking AI output is the day production servers spontaneously combust worldwide. Trust but verify isn't just for nuclear disarmament—it's for that sketchy code your AI buddy wrote while hallucinating documentation that doesn't exist.

No More Software Engineers By The First Half Of 2026

Ah yes, another AI researcher predicting our imminent extinction. Because that's exactly what happened when calculators replaced mathematicians and spell-check eliminated writers. The best part is the comparison to compiler output. Sure, because blindly trusting AI-generated code without review is exactly like trusting battle-tested compilers with decades of development behind them. Completely equivalent! Don't worry though - by 2026 we'll all be unemployed, but at least we'll have plenty of time to fix the bugs in the AI-generated systems that control our power grids and banking systems. Progress!

The Immortal Tech Survivors

That one developer who somehow survived the tech apocalypse at Facebook/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Google while everyone else got pink-slipped isn't human anymore. They've transcended mortality and become a cosmic deity through sheer corporate survivalism. Their legacy codebase is so tangled that firing them would literally break the universe. Not even ChatGPT could replace them because it would need therapy after seeing their undocumented code. Their Slack status? "Can't talk, holding entire AWS infrastructure together with duct tape and spite."

When Theory Meets Production

First panel: Everyone's terrified AI will steal their jobs. Second panel: Suddenly no one has actual production experience. The duality of developers in 2024: Simultaneously convinced AI will replace them while secretly using ChatGPT to figure out how to center a div. The truth hurts because we're all just stack overflow copypasta merchants with impostor syndrome and health insurance.

The most elegant solution: return user || null; The solution when your manager mentions "performance bonuses tied to code output metrics": whatever this monstrosity is. Somewhere, a junior dev is wondering why their PR keeps getting rejected while the tech debt architect who wrote this garbage is getting promoted.

That hollow feeling when you watch an AI model execute your former coding responsibilities with cold, algorithmic precision. There you sit, equal parts impressed and devastated, as your precious hand-crafted algorithms—once your pride and joy—are now just another task for the silicon overlord. The machine doesn't even have the decency to struggle with that tricky edge case that kept you up for three nights. Relationship status with your code: It's complicated.

That moment when a departing dev becomes the most dangerous person in the company. The two-weeks-notice developer suddenly transforms from "just another coder" to "possessor of all corporate secrets" in management's eyes. Companies panic like they've just realized their entire codebase is now a hostage situation. Meanwhile, the dev is thinking "You ignored my code reviews for 3 years, but now you're worried about what I know?" Pro tip: If your entire business collapses because one developer leaves with source code knowledge, your problem isn't the developer—it's your nonexistent documentation.

Behold the dark art of macro abuse! This C++ monstrosity redefines every keyword with increasingly longer "a" strings. Want to make the next maintainer question their career choices? Just turn 'main' into 'aaa', 'return' into 'aaaaaaaaa', and watch their soul leave their body during code review. The only thing missing is the maniacal laughter echoing through your open office floor plan as you commit this abomination to the main branch at 4:59 PM on Friday.

Ah yes, corporate problem-solving at its finest. Developer: "I'm burning out." HR: "Here's a survey." Developer: *honestly admits burnout* HR: "You're fired." Problem solved! Just like how I fix memory leaks by shutting down the server. Can't have burnout if you don't have employees. The classic "have you tried turning it off and not turning it back on again" approach to human resources.
